Was pretty surprised at how bad the Avalanche are.
Barely noticed Duchene.

They were losing every battle, and seemed a half second behind the leafs in responding to loose pucks. They had no fight. I can't imagine Roy lasting very long, if Yesterday was a typical game for them.
One thing that I noticed about Reims' play this year that has me feeling more comfortable is that he's not on his face anymore and I rarely see him swimming. Rather he's using his frame to his advantage to stop the puck. He hasn't done that since 2011
Yeah, there were a couple games he didn't play because of it
You haven't caught every game then... because he was swimming a lot just a few games ago.

Was that the Vancouver game? Usually when I think of him swimming is just him needlessly falling on his stomach on every play. I did notice in the Vancouver game he was flailing about in the 3rd period though.
Could Babcock's coaching bait Stamkos into joining our team?
Closer to a playoff spot than Matthews. I expect that trend will continue.

They are on a good streak right now, with a goalie putting in a a near top of the league performance.
and with another goalie crapping his bed.
Wonder what the polls said about which one is better?
I don't expect Reimer to play out the season like he is playing now. It would be great, heck, Hasek became as starter at age 28.
Perhaps getting away from the old goalie coach?
Question: Who will replace Kessel goals if he is traded?
Answer: Komorov
18 games into the season
Komarov with JVR and Kadri on the top line 6 goals.
Kessel with Crosby/Malkin has 6 goals.
Goal differential replacing Kessel with Komarov = 0 [@ ~ 1/4 mark]
PS. UFA signing PA Parenteau also has 6 goals for $1.5 mil.
Komarov snipe into the top corner in this game only something Kessel could do.
Reimer has already had two previous seasons at this level.
Bozak is riding on Parenteau's coat-tail.
That line is developing some chemistry, Bozak always seems to land on his feet. Maybe he's just a glue guy, if there is a couple of pieces lying around he'll put them together and make it work.
Leafs are 24th. in points per game.
They are behind Buffalo, Boston, Tampa, Florida, and Detroit for the last playoffs spot in the Atlantic, and the last Atlantic spot is 4 points behind the last wild card spot.
Leafs are definitely closer to a top 5 pick than a playoffs spot.

What?
Detroit is in 3rd with 19pts.
One win we jump 2 teams, another win, another two/three teams.
We're close.
